When i filled the tank in mississauga it took about 39 liters .

560 kms from 39 litres?
That is about 6.96 litres per 100 km, or
33.77 miles per US gallon, or
40.56 miles per Imp gallon, or
14.36 kms per litre
Very close to my numbers Adriaan. Quite respectable considering your load although there are people who have done better(in varied conditions). It is a manual, right? Please keep on posting your numbers. I guess even as good as they are, they will improve.
